Hello??? - BFVSFOREVER - 07-01-2012 Is anyone out there? Nothing new since June 28th, never mind, I'm goin fishin! Just sayin. [signature] Re: [BFVSFOREVER] Hello??? - flygoddess - 07-01-2012 I see that. I have been heading to the hills for the past two weeks. Cooler but wind has been brutal. Using the Assault mostly but also a little deep nymphing from the boat. All released for others to enjoy [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Hello??? - cpierce - 07-01-2012 Nice looking fish! How is the Assault compared to the Renegade? [signature] Re: [cpierce] Hello??? - flygoddess - 07-01-2012 It seems more responsive. Smaller diameter toons so flipper power really makes you fly. Handles like a dream in the wind. With my ultra light oars it causes a wake. Tried it today with factory oars and they work just fine, and we were talking white caps today. It's a keeper. And easy as heck to carry. Either on the shoulders or stand in the middle and lift. Done some hiking with this one.

I know for myself, I've only made it out a couple of times for a few hours before the wind came back up. Other obligations and the wind have made it a tough time this year in Southeast Idaho. Especially the WIND! [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Hello??? - cpierce - 07-01-2012 Sounds fun. Is it narrower than the Renegade too?? [signature] Re: [cpierce] Hello??? - flygoddess - 07-01-2012 That is the same here. Our weekend last we were able to get out for 3 hours Saturday morning before all hell broke loose. Then out of desperation, I went out in the evening and managed the biggest fish of the weekend (sorry, on gopro, but it was a quick unplanned release) That is where I truly appreciated the Assault. Two hours all day Sunday was all we got. Deep nymphing and Damsels were still working. OH, and leeches. One hitched a ride on one of my indicators...that was funny.

Plenty room even with a #27 battery, but not a struggle to reach the motor at all. Lighter too.

Maybe I better not, and just be content with some compromises that work for most of what I want. The Assault sounds great and would be better in someways, but I do like my Renegade and my Fish Cat 4. They work for me and what I do. [signature]
